The pin can also be worn as a
pendant by treading a chain or cord (black satin included) through
the cast-in bail.
However, if you plan to wear this only as a pendant, you may not
want the pin on the back.
This item will also be offered as a Holiday Ornament.
Because it is the largest and heaviest of our items, the Earth
is significantly more expensive to produce.
I hope you agreed with us that it is a wonderful value at $8.

Planet Earth

The earliest humans
thought of Earth as a living thing - a mother, gaia or creator,
to whom we are all connected.
Early astronomers thought it to be the center of the universe
and others believed it to be flat.
In the later centuries, humans viewed the Earth as an object with
resources to be exploited.
It was less than 50 years ago that the first astronauts really
saw Earth for the first time.
The photos they brought back stunned us with the fragile beauty
of our blue watery home
- threatened by climate change and mass species extinction.
Now science is turning back to the early vision of the planet
as a living organism which is continuing to evolve
- and we humans, an expression of the earth's evolution.

The Labyrinth
The Labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool, used for the purpose
of prayer, meditation, reflection, and contemplation. It is found
in various forms in all religious traditions around the world
and throughout history. This one is a Cretan Labyrinth. A labyrinth
is not a maze; there are no tricks to it, and no dead ends. The
labyrinth has only one path which leads to the center and out
again. It is a universal image representing the path of Life,
and is a symbolic journey in the form of a walking meditation.
Walking the path is a sacred ritual that can provide insights,
courage, and understanding in facing life's challenges.

The
Tree of Life
is an ancient symbolic concept found in cultures around the world.
Representing wisdom, protection, strength, bounty, beauty, redemption
and regeneration, it also is used to depict the relationship of
all species in nature. The Tree of Life is a core concept in Judaism,
Christianity, Kabbala, Celtic and Druid, Chinese, Assyria and
ancient Egyptian religions, and as the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican
concept of the World Tree. One of the best known examples comes
from the Germans - the Christmas Tree. Scientists use the Tree
to map the family of nature. Darwin made a famous sketch of a
branching tree as he worked on his theory of evolution. Trees
are vital to the cycles of our planet, providing oxygen, food,
shelter, soil, even converting mist to rain. The loss of trees
worldwide is a factor in global climate change.
